Send in broken components.

IT SAYS HERE THE ARMY DOESN'T does·n't

Contraction of does not. HAVE ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR YOU BECAUSE NO ONE HAS BEEN SENDING PARTS IN FOR REPAIR.

DRAT! NOW I'LL NEVER GET BACK TO THE FIELD. I FEEL SO USELESS.

When components are breaking down on the position and azimuth azimuth (ăz`əməth), in astronomy, one coordinate in the altazimuth coordinate system. It is the angular distance of a body measured westward along the celestial horizon from the observer's south point. determining system (PADS), not enough units are sending them in for repair. As a result, the Army can't repair components and put them back in the field and units can't get replacement components to keep their PADS operating.

If you have any broken PADS components sitting in your unit, turn them in. The following are in really short supply:
